happy (belated) mother's day to any of you who may fit the bill.this was my first (official) day of "my own".i have too many thoughts surrounding it, but none as poignant as these that i read this morning: here & here. there are things i celebrate about being a mom.there are things i worry about being a mom.there are things i fear about being a mom.there are things i shouldn't even think about being a mom.there are things i miss about my own mom; especially since becoming one.i'd like to share some fantastic thoughts. i'd like to open up (a little) & get new viewpoints. i'd like to commiserate with all of us who are missing their own mothers & motherfigures.i just don't have the words.enjoy your kids today. & tomorrow too.
